ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVES Rh
1018
The prototype:
In 1937, the Austrian Federal Railways ordered eight locomotives from the
Floridsdorf locomotive factory based on the German E 18. They were intended
for use on the newly electrified Western Railway.
The requirements of the Western route resulted in a number of changes to the
design such as higher ventilation grilles, stronger transformers or more
powerful AMS701 traction motors. The gear ratios were slightly less than the E
18, resulting in a top speed of 130 km/h (81mph), but the starting tractive
effort and continuous output were significantly increased. Due to political
developments, the Austrian locomotives were delivered to the Deutsche
Reichsbahn beginning in 1940.
After the war, the Austrian Federal Railways (OBB) reclassified their eight
locomotives as BR 1018.
These engines underwent a rebuilding program.
The most visible modification was the redesign of the cab faces. The main
switch and other electrical apparatus were replaced with standard ÖBB
components.
OBB’s 1018 fleet remained in service until the early 1990’s, with the 1018.05
being kept operational until 2001 for fan trips.

follows :
Alternating current: max. Load: 16 V ~ , Commutation tension: 24 V ~
Direct voltage: max. Driving tension: 12 V
If used frequently, oil the wheelsets with a drop of non-resinous, acid-free
sewing machine oil! In order to achieve the best possible running and traction
properties, it is advisable to run the locomotive in for 25 minutes forwards
and 25 minutes in reverse without load. Clean rails are essential for good
performance.
